Why is my Nose Crooked and my Lip Looks Different? (photo)

I am 2 weeks post op & I'm really depressed about my new nose, is it going to stay like this forever? My nose looks good profile view but frontal view it looks crooked & my lips look long and nothing how I used to look. Is it just swelling or is it a bad nose job ?

Unhappy with nose and lips after rhinoplasty

Sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your results. There will be significant swelling 2 weeks following surgery that does improve in time. It can take up to a year for the definition in the nose to improve. In the meantime, ask your plastic surgery if there is anything that he or she recommends to address your concerns about the alignment of your nose and lips. Your surgeon has the benefit of evaluating you in person and will be a better resource than the RealSelf consultants. Thank you for sharing your photos and questions. Best wishes.
